Introduction
The 1916 $1 Gold McKinley Commemorative graded NGC MS65 is a remarkable example of early U.S. commemorative coinage. With vibrant luster, sharp details, and gem-quality preservation, this coin offers collectors a blend of historical importance, artistic design, and numismatic scarcity.
History
Authorized by Congress in 1916, the McKinley Gold Dollar was issued to honor President William McKinley and to help fund the McKinley Memorial in Canton, Ohio. Produced in limited numbers during the early commemorative coin era, this issue reflects the patriotic sentiment of the time and remains a key piece for collectors of classic U.S. gold coins.
Design
The obverse features a dignified portrait of President William McKinley, designed by Charles E. Barber, capturing the former president’s likeness with clarity and balance. The reverse depicts the McKinley Memorial Building, designed by George T. Morgan, emphasizing architectural detail and elegance. The MS65 grade highlights the coin’s exceptional eye appeal, clean fields, and minimal contact marks, making it a standout piece for both display and collection.
